TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - From Selz to Gigerenzer: a thought-psychological research history, which needs a Popperian, fallibilist theory of rationality to effectively develop JO - Theory and psychology A1 - Wettersten, John SP - 439 EP - 457 VL - 27 IS - 4 N2 - Two sharply separated traditions in the philosophy of science and in thought psychology began with Otto Selz's psychology. The first tradition began with Karl Popper; it has been developed by many others. The developers of the second tradition have included Julius Bahle, Adriaan de Groot, Herbert Simon, and Gerd Gigerenzer. The first tradition has ignored empirical studies of thought processes. The second tradition is widely based on Simon's inductivist philosophy. The first tradition can be improved by integrating empirical studies of rationality into its research. The second tradition can be improved by replacing its inductivist assumptions with a fallibilist framework.
